It has been a busy week for Wilson when it comes to honors, as she became the all-time leading scorer for the Aces on Sunday. A'ja is currently on pace to score more points than anyone in a WNBA season ever has before. This helped lead to her selection as Western Conference Player of the Week, for the second week in a row. Now Wilson can add digital stardom to her portfolio.

WNBA legend Sue Bird talked about the selections with Tatum and Wilson on 'The Old Man and the Three' podcast and one was way more enthused than the other. Tatum said he cried upon learning the news, calling it a dream come true. While Wilson said, "I don't play video games and I might start now because my face is on the cover."

Her lack of gaming experience has not stopped A'ja from putting up video game numbers for the Aces. Wilson is averaging 27 points and 10.9 rebounds per contest for the back-to-back defending champions. Which has led to her head coach Becky Hammon saying without hesitation, "She's the best basketball player in the world." It's hard to disagree given what Wilson has been able to accomplish.
